Muzzle brakes are a pretty awesome upgrade on any weapon, but one downfall to them is that they are usually quite a bit louder and muzzle blast is usually redirected to each side of the brake. Making it a bit annoying for shooters to the side of you at the range. Kineti-Tech came up with a pretty neat solution to this. Their 2 Piece muzzle brakes include a sleeve that screws on over the brake and acts as a sound director which pushes the sound and blast forward while still reducing muzzle rise. According to Kineti-Tech it “Redirects sound forward to greatly reduce the “at ear point blast” compared to with the sleeve removed.”
The best part, they retail for only $49 and are available with free shipping over on Amazon.com.

Great quality piece with great performance. They ARE the manufacturer so you are buying direct hence the lower price.
I have one of these on my M4 build. It works very well without the sleeve. With the sleeve on there’s a bit more recoil but that’s to be expected as it moves the blast forward, however the sound is all moved forward and is much quieter for the shooter.
I have one of these on my ar and it sucks. It def redirects the sound but its super loud and the recoil is worse. The only positive things I can point out would be the looks and the price haha.
Read gunslingers write up….its perfect. It does help to know what your working with and how things work. But yes you did not buy a suppressor so its NOT going to suppress sound only redirect. I have 3 of these mostly do to “solvent trap” thread attached. Very well made and it does exactly what it says it does.
At $50 that seems like a pretty great deal, makes you wonder why everyone else sells them for $100+
I wonder how effective it is with the sleeve attached?
